Filesystem Hierarchy Standard
Variable data of the packages in /opt must be installed in
/var/opt/<package>, where <package> is the name of the
subtree in /opt where the static data from an add-on software
package is stored, except where superseded by another file in
/etc. No structure is imposed on the internal arrangement of
/var/opt/<package>.
BEGIN RATIONALE
Refer to the rationale for /opt.
END RATIONALE
Previous: /var/mail : User mailbox files (optional)
Next: /var/run : Run-time variable data
